On Friday, a petition was refused to be entertained by the Supreme Court that sought a common dress code in registered and recognized educational institutions for students and staff members.
A bench of Justices Hemant Gupta and Sudhanshu Dhulia commented saying, “This is not a matter which has to come to court.” It also added that “This is not in realm of the court.”
However, Senior Advocate Gaurav Bhatia appeared for the petitioner and tried to persuade the justices to look into the matter. He cited the issue being a constitutional one and it goes against the spirit of the Right to Education Act, 2009.
“This is a Constitutional issue…Please come to page 58. Direct a uniform Dress for staff and teachers. Your Lordships may pass an order under RTE, there has to be uniformity, there has to be discipline.”
